Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 31 this date. Happily, Captain Rooke was the purchaser, for the sum of £30,000. Captain Rooke bought the estate in 1836. That was the year when the Tithe Commutation Act was passed 47 and two years later the Tithe Apportionment survey and map were made for Lacock. The map shows changes that had been made yet again in the layout of Lackham‟s drives. The major change was brought about by the decision, probably by Capt. Rooke, to move the entrance to the House from the south to the northern side and making the northern driveway the major entrance to the Estate. To mark this the Lodge had been built on the Chippenham to Melksham road (a on Fig. 18 below). This Lodge was made “of Stone and Thatch, [with] 4 rooms 48 “. The drive was taken along the line of the already existing field track, replacing the more northerly line seen in Fig. 13. The line of this drive had been changed so that, instead of joining the original entranceway close to its eastern end, it now ran parallel to it, a bit to the south of the line of the current Front Drive, to arrive on the northern side of the House. The original drive was diverted from its course to the south side of the House and now ran north past the western end of the building to meet the new Front Drive at the same point as the current Back Drive-Front Drive junction. The new entrance to the House was marked by a new oval porch (a in Fig. 18) and a widening of the drive in front of this (b) allowed carriages to turn around, draw up to the porch facing back up the drive and then proceed into 47 http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/policy/other/tithe.htm “Tithe Commutation Act, 1836 (6&7 Will.IV, c.71) allowed payment of tithes in kind to be substituted by money payments. In most cases the principal records of the commutation of tithes in a parish under the Tithe Act 1836 is the Tithe Apportionment, altered apportionment and the tithe maps” 48 W&SHC 173/61Sale catalogue entitled “The Lackham estate in the county of Wilts 1864 by the auctioneers Daniel Smith, Son and Oakley, Land Agents and Surveyors 10 Waterloo Place London
